Some of the letters in my SL main menu have been messed up for a while.


The E in Edit and the W in World are messed up.



Anyone else seeing this or know how to fix it?

This is with Second Life 1.18.5 (3) Nov 28 2007 13:59:53 (Second Life Release)

https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-3947

I shoulda looked in the Jira first.

I upgraded my drivers from the Omega drivers to the current ATI drivers not long ago.

Didn't help the problem I was having but I suppose it did cause the font distortion.

Perhaps maybe possibly https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-2410 ? It can produce degrees of distortion.

This problem still exists.

Please vote for this Jira issue.

I would like to upgrade my video drivers and still have clear text in the menus.

FWIW I'm still using Omega drivers (on an old X1950) and have the same issue.

It's past time for my yearly bumping of this thread.

This problem still exists on my system as of last month.

Please vote for this issue. I like to have properly shaped letters in my software. There's only one program that I use that can't draw it's menu correctly. It would nice to have that number reduced to zero.

Thanks.

The url is https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-3947 .


Does this need to have the jira updated so it indicates the current version as being affected?

A worthy bump indeed - I've done some considerable upgrading in the meantime (Radeon HD4870 1GB with the latest Catalysts, among other things) and no change.

Harrumph.

I have that too! LOL. I thought it went away but I can still see it even on the SL login screen.
